DNA Plc contracted Omnitele to measure and compare the data speeds offered by Finnish mobile service providers DNA, Elisa and Telia in capital region and in Turku and Tampere regions. The benchmark focused on the data speeds available with each service provider’s premium subscription available to the consumers (unlimited data volume, highest available data rate) and with 5G capable terminal.

The measurements were carried out in October-November 2021.

Main Results

Data speeds achieved by all operators were at an excellent level. Considering the most typical use cases, such as web browsing and video streaming, the measured data rates enable excellent mobile service experience with all three service providers. Thanks to 5G introduction the data speeds had improved significantly since previous measurements. The highest average download data speed was measured with the DNA subscription, 538 Mbps. The results for Elisa and Telia subscriptions were 414 and 398 Mbps, respectively.

Benchmark results varied during the measurements in different cities and locations, mainly depending on the phase of 5G implementation. In measured areas all operators had 5G already widely available. Full report available in Finnish here
